Cold days continue, but at the florist's storefront, we are beginning to see "Keioh Sakura" blooming in the middle of winter. I missed spring more and more when I decorated it in my room, so this time I would like to introduce the "Sweet Sakura Tea" series, where you can enjoy the feeling of spring sooner.


"Sweet Sakura Tea Sakuraka" sold by the Japan Green Tea Center is a flower tea that is made by picking the most fragrant cherry blossoms that are about to bloom and processing them so that they bloom in hot water using a unique manufacturing method. According to the company, it is very difficult to collect because "cherry blossoms bloom at night and the scent is strongest at night".

Raw materials include processed salted cherry blossoms and cherry leaf extract. At first, an object that looks like pickled shibazuke opens softly when you pour hot water, and turns into cherry blossoms as soon as you see it. The taste is a faint salty taste that goes well with tea confectionery. It doesn't contain tea leaves, so you can enjoy it even if you put it in wine, sake, soup, or making sweets.



There is also a tea bag type in the same series, which is made by adding cherry leaf extract to black tea. You will be healed by the fluffy, scented black tea that resembles sakura mochi.


6 bags of cherry blossoms are 500 yen, and 10 tea bags are 400 yen (both tax excluded). How about a celebration seat hospitality or a gift for those who are welcoming a new start?
